Summary of actions not covered by above
Committee recommendations for upcoming year
Committee charges need to be re-evaluated. Perhaps limit the scope to vending machines. Also, clarify what impact making recommendations on cafeteria and bookstore would have upon these services since the committee was given to understand that these vendors are contracted by CUNY Central.
